Victims of vehicle thefts in Kwai Tsing urged to come forward

Police today (January 8) appealed to members of the public who had been victimized in vehicle crimes in Kwai Tsing to come forward.

The appeal was made following the arrest of four men aged between aged 40 and 50 in Tsing Yi on January 5 and 6, 2007 respectively.

At about 3.30 pm on January 5, officers attached to the Task Force of Tsing Yi Division intercepted a 40-year-old man who was pushing a motorcycle into a unit of an industrial building on 4-6 Wing Kin Road with a screwdriver and some pliers found in his possession.

Enquiries revealed that he had stolen the motorcycle at an earlier time on the same day outside Kwai Shun Street Playground. He was arrested for taking conveyance without authority and theft from vehicles.

Subsequent search in the unit on January 5 led to the further arrest of two other men aged 45 and 50 respectively following the recovery of a quantity of suspected stolen goods inside the flat. They included helmets, motorcycle baggage carriers, fairings and rear mirrors. Meanwhile, a 44-year-old man was arrested in the small hours of January 6 suspected to be in connection with the case. They were all arrested for suspected handling stolen goods.

The three men arrested on January 5 were charged subsequently and had appeared in Tsuen Wan Magistrates' Courts today while the 44-year-old man was released on police bail pending further enquiries. Investigations by District Crime Squad of Kwai Tsing are underway.

Anyone who had been victimized in vehicle crimes in Kwai Tsing is urged to contact the investigating officers at 2410 2353 or the Report Room of Tsing Yi Police Station at 2431 3600 for property identification.
